[The focus of the CP needs to be rethought. Twenty two crops are considered, but there is only a single target (tolerance of drought stress). While relevant as a model system, choosing only drought tolerance ¿sets the bar very high.¿ A few other model traits, for example those relating to disease and pest resistance, should also be included. If one focus is to be on drought, the CWANA region should be explicitly included in the CP, including its institutions with significant experience on this issue.]
